A Prism Tripod includes a planar base including a supported portion and a cantilever portion. Preferably the base includes a cantilever axis, and a point axis, wherein the cantilever axis within the cantilever portion and the point axis within the supported portion. The prism tripod including at least three legs supporting the base and a laser holder for supporting a locating device and a laser. The base is adapted to demountably receive the laser holder along the cantilever axis, wherein the laser and locating device mounted along the cantilever axis.
